Being a new player myself I fell that I would level up quicker and be able to reach my friend's level (46) quicker. Having only 1 and 2 star heroes do not help and the Symbiote being nerfed has put me at a disadvantage he was most powerful (with Spiderman (classic) coming in close 2nd, now first). The Sym being nerfed by so much is really upsetting, i have no choice but to sell him.

When I was new they never gave me a bundle. I doubt the new people don't have any other normal way of getting those resources like everybody else.

That's the kind of comments that I hear all the time.
When I've started playing games, in the 80's, there was no youtube or internet to help players, so, you should not get tips from others to progress in this game.
What does the fact that the new players get something you didn't have would change YOUR progress in this game?
Sorry, but, I hate that kind of attitude. It's plain selfish.

It's already very easy for new players to progress in the game even completely free to play, just go watch some youtube videos you don't need anything else. Seatin's channel has a free to play series where you can see how easy it to go far in this game with a new account

I'm surprised to see so many people vote no. Even if you give new players a one month calendar worth of stuff, they will still be far behind people who've been receiving free stuff for a long time (those free revives, t2a, 4* 5* 's?).
Also, it doesn't affect the veterans in any way.

How much Kabam wants to accelerate newer players is up to them. But with the current system of rewarding players with deep/r5 rosters, I don't see a new player thriving in Gold1 or higher without spending because vets are growing too, so the barrier to gold will only get harder, unless more players keep retiring and this game's playerbase dies.

Ok. I was checking whether I voted yes or no. Now I wish I could go back and vote no. There was plenty of information provided that shows that new players can easily rank up just the way the game currently is. Plus, Kabam updated the crystals to help out new players advance even more quickly. Just create a second account (you don't have to keep it), play it for free, and you can see that if you put in the time that people normally put into their main account, you can advance quickly.

I started 2015 (When it came out) And quit like mid 2016 due to terrible rates and champions. I came back late 2017 to discover that the rates had shot up and new champions have came out. I feel like it was unfair that I started off in the dark ages of the game xD, but I know the struggle of being a new player, so yes, I feel like new players should get a better welcome reward then just 1 premium dissapointment crystal
